MIR. SHERMAN SPEAKS.
thank you with all my heart for the
high compliment of presiding over this dis
tinguished assemblage. I think the Repub
licans Of Ohio in this respect, have been
partial to me, and I am called on this &C.
caslon to preside because attended the
NJ nrst Eepublican convention of Ohio, where
the republican party was born, and have
watched and wondered and followed its
splendid history and its magnificent pro-
gress from that day to this. And now 1
congratulate you upon the fact that the
great body OF your work has already been
done by the people Of Ohio. All you have
to do is to record and announce the results
OF their decisions. In every district in Ohio
voice comes to us from the unanimous
mouths OF the Republicans of Ohio for the
denomination of Gov. Joseph B. Foraker.
NO man was ever presented as a candidate
with more hearty, generous and frank en-
dorsement than he, and he deserves it, be-
cause he has fairly earned this nomination
at your hands. He has prevented the Demo
cratic president of the United States from
surrendering to the Confederates the flags
and I, banners which they lost in the Rebel
lion. In this he has touched the patriotic
heart OF the whole country, and therefore we
take pride in this endorsement of him bv
our unanimous denomination as good Re-
pnhlicans and true friends to the cause.
he commended tho work of the legisla-
ture at the last session, saying:
The Union soldier is on almost every page
Of the volume, OF work they did, the record
gratitude and obligations Of patriotic
people for his sacrifices and his services.
They were also watchful for the rights Of
abor and of the laboring men, who, after
Ill, is the foundation Of cur structure, and
whose reasonable demands ought always to
be heard and always to be needed. You
tried Democratic legislature little while
ago, and hope God will keep you from ever
trying it again. It was a legislature tainted
with fraud, and it was blackened by elec-
hon crimes: They left the state in debt
With its ordinary expenses unprovided for. |

more Of yer unanimous praise this day
uttered than do Of the Office of president
IF the United States. I would rather feel
that stood before you now, at this period
IF my life, man and boy living always in
0hio-that now, at this late period, the Re-
9ublcans OF Ohio, for whose welfare I have
devoted so much of my life, are willing to
say this much for me. I know that this
resolution is Of no Importance unless the
voters of the districts of Ohio and of the |
Union shall, of their own free choice, elect
delegates who will agree with you in your
opinion. Irecognize the distinct rule and
right OF every district to speak it's own voice.

THE BLAINE MEN.
ToLEDA, o., July %. The abandonment at
The last moment by the friends of Mr..
Blaine of their intended opposition of the
of Senator Sherman by to-
days convention was due to the interior
ence of some: of Blaine's iieutenants in
the east. This can be stated upon the best
After the committee on plat
form had finally decided last night to re-
port the Grosvenor resolutions, dispatches
were received from the east by the chief
leader of the anti-Sherman element, saying
that opposition on the floor of the conven-
ton would be ill-advieed, and calculated to
do more harm than good to Blaine's inter
ests. Thereupon it was decided to let the
question go by default. The eastern ad.
visers, 1t is said, were Messrs. Boutolle and
Milliken.
